Solve for x.

4x + 3 = 35

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 3 = 35

subtract 3 from both sides

4x + 3 - 3 = 35 - 4

4x = 32

divide both sides by 4

4x / 4 = x

32/4 = 8

we're left with x = 8

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x you need to isolate it

First, subtract 3 from both sides, so you end up with:

4x = 32

Then, divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x

x = 8

b) yes

step-by-step explanation:

let the statements be named as,

statement 1: if the power has been cut, then the refrigerator does not work.

statement 2: the refrigerator does not work.

conclusion: the power has been cut

now, 'law of detachment states that if we have the statements given as,

1. if p, then q.

2. p

then, we get the true statement or conclusion as q'.

thus, on comparing, we get that,

p: if the power has been cut.

q: the refrigerator does not work.

so, the argument is true by the law of detachment.
